How to Make Fresh Lemon Ginger Tea

This step-by-step guide on how to make fresh lemon ginger tea is quick and easy plus, this tea is delicious and good for you! Drink it to boost your immune system, to help digestion or simply to relax at the end of the day.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, winter and I, we’re not a good match. In fact, I think we’re enemies. Every year, once the weather starts getting cooler, I start getting sick. I’m allergic to a lot of medicines too so I resort to DIY home remedies and I’ve gone through a lot over the years.

I’ve shared one of my favourites – Turmeric Golden Milk – a while back and if you haven’t tried it yet I strongly encourage you to. It’s delicious and it’s packed with lots of exceptionally healthy stuff.

Another favourite is lemon ginger tea. I used to buy the ready-made ones but they’re not potent enough for me (and some brands taste like cardboard TBH). So I made my own. And it’s delicious! Just the perfect spice, tang and sweetness to soothe even your worst throat itch. I like it so much I drink it even when I’m not sick. I’m sure you’ll love it too.

How to make fresh lemon ginger tea: step 1 – prep your ginger

Buy good quality ginger. And I mean try to stay away from the old, fibrous ones. Fresh ones are the best. You don’t really need to go organic and in fact I’ve found that organic ginger tastes a little bland (or is that just me?). In any case, fresh is better.

Peel and dice. I’m not really a peel and dice kind of girl but this I can do. I use a spoon to scrape off the skin from the ginger and by dice I just mean chop it into the smallest pieces that you can. It doesn’t have to be perfect. And in fact if you end up with big-ish pieces no worries, it just means you’ll need to steep your tea longer.

Put your ginger in a french press or a teapot and steep for at least 20 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the ginger kick.

I am one of those crazy lover of tea in different versions. My favorite way of taking them is in the form of Lemon Tea, Ginger Tea and Green Tea and they are the good way to turn a lazy morning in to a fresh one!

The timing of me finding this post is quite a coincidence since I am home sick from work today! I love lemon ginger tea, it is SO soothing, but I have never made it from scratch like this. Seems so obvious now that I read this! Thanks for sharing.

Me and winter don’t get along either. I can’t handle the cold and I bundle up in a million layers when I go outside. I love the idea of this tea using fresh ginger. Everything is natural and healthy and so good for you. I know what you mean about some bought teas tasting not so good. Thankfully, I’m feeling good right now, but I would happily sip on this! We are in for a snow storm tomorrow so I can totally see this tea happening 🙂 Stay warm, Jolina!

Oh I totally get what you mean about the million layers. Then when you get indoors you’re burning up because of said layers haha. Such is winter! We had a snowstorm over the weekend, it was pretty but made for a nasty commute. Stay warm too my friend!

Welcome to The Unlikely Baker!

Hi! I'm Jolina and I'm definitely a late bloomer, a thoroughly unexpected baker. You wouldn't find me in the kitchen as a child. And I have no memories of baking cookies with my grandma. I loved to eat, I just had absolutely no interest in cooking or baking. But now I can’t wait to come home and bake something. I guess life is funny that way. Extraordinary too. READ MORE.
